Wait. That’s not right

I bless the rains

That sucks that Rodgers never panned out. That surgery killed his career.

[Wishbone 4777]

Well, I’ve finally overcome my hangover induced by last nights fiasco (took all day). I’m looking forward to a lineup that’s going to be bullish on the Tigers tonight.

[Scraps 13570]

Man how quick they forget lol

[elguapo 4586]

Got my trucker hat, love it. Thanks @henrygandorf and let me know how I can get you back.

i can't wait until the first time a couple of you guys see each other at a game or some shit and you're both wearing them.

[Scraps 13570]

Oh we are supposed to wear them??

 

I have my in a display case above the mantel and removed my autographed dual signed biggio bagwell ball to display it

I will be wearing my trucker hat to tomorrow night’s game.

There will be a couple of them on Sunday in section 310... one on my 4 yo because he has a giant melon

Damn! That looks less than ideal. This doesn’t seem like one of those “you should see the other guy” deals.

The moment not accepting your cousin’s offer to be a plumbers assistant seems like a mistake.

Those assholes got a cheap win last night, that’s what he’s mad about, Blummer.

[Wishbone 4777]

Cole is dealin’ early.

[Mo Horn 8853]

Hey look, George knows not to go for three. 

[Limp Brisket 546]

Love Altuve but the familiar lunge at an outside pitch sucks.

Never understood why he doesn’t crowd up at least a few inches. But can’t argue with his overall success. 

[Bregs 225]

No outs, runner on 2nd...should've bunt.  

[clapclapclap 9000]

The nose in Scrap's pic is my brain each time that horrid Blue Bell sappy singing eunuch commercial is played.  "AND LASERS!" isn't even 1/10th as annoying.

You're new to following the Astros I see.

Toro’s mom looks fun.

[Scraps 13570]

Got damn #13 on a slim build looks awkward as fuck

[Wishbone 4777]

Apparently we can’t hit shitty pitching. We need more established starters to hit against.

[clapclapclap 9000]

Dang, almost had a Toro! Toro! Toro!

Yup, this guy's stats look like he'd have trouble in single A ball and he looks like an ace against us.

Hope for his sake it is. I’ll pass, personally.

[henrygandorf 29194]

late to the party here, but god damn we strand a lot of leadoff doubles.

is there a record for guys lob for a season?  have we broken that yet?

ok, so if this link is to be believed, we are currently 5th (or 26th) in mlb in lob per game.  only .01 behind 3rd place dodgers/tampa tied.

https://www.teamrankings.com/mlb/stat/team-left-on-base-per-game

what's interesting is that the top (bottom) of that list is a bunch of good offensive teams.  then down at 21st (10th) is the yankees, wedged in between balt and colo.  maybe they've been a little lucky this season?  this is of course assuming "clutch" isn't really a stat, and it's all just dumb luck.

Sometimes the numbers confirm the results of the eye test:

How did they shrink Tyler whites jersey for toro ?

[YChang 3462]

This offense shouldn’t be this anemic.

[Wishbone 4777]

So that’s  what a little run support looks like

[YChang 3462]

They’re realllllllly anemic. Pathetic.

[clapclapclap 9000]

Awesome moment for the mom.  Too bad the airhead did the interview instead of Julia.

[Mo Horn 8853]

Cole is nasty tonight

Took the words out of my intended post. Two nights in a row, anemic hitting, great pitching. Still trying to get my head around Verlander giving up only 2 hits……for 2 solo HR’s, and losing a game with the heaviest odds as a favorite in eons. Baseball.

[Wishbone 4777]

You would also think that with a lineup like ours that am teamwide slump would be unlikely, yet here we are.

Exactly... baseball. The most frustrating game I've watched in a long time.
